Energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2015 were about 12% below 2005 levels. Specific circumstances, such as the very warm fourth quarter of 2015 and relatively low natural gas prices, put downward pressure on emissions as natural gas was substituted for coal in electricity generation.

Emissions have declined in 6 out of the past 10 years, and energy‐related CO 2 emissions in 2016 were 823 MMmt (14%) below 2005 levels, according to the EIA. The natural gas share of electricity generation has grown as the coal share declined, partially offsetting the decline in energy-related CO 2 emissions from coal.

One of the key findings in the California’s Energy Future Summary Report is that implementation of key efficiency efforts could reduce fuel demand in 2050 to roughly 2005 levels (half of the business-as-usual scenario). Three supply cases were then examined to meet this demand. bgge of which is used in transportation.
